The landing page says "With Azure Database for PostgreSQL, you can scale the performance of your database with no application downtime". I don't see an option to scale the Postgres database in my Azure Portal.
You can scale by clicking on the Pricing tier. However note that scaling operations currently only support within a service tier. i.e, scaling up/down within Basic and scaling up/down within standard. Ability to scale across service tiers will come soon. /works at Microsoft and the managed PostgreSQL service /
The application should have logic to re-try connections. When you scale, there is a brief moment ~30-45seconds when the app wont be able to connect to the database and then resumes if you re-try connection.

How do you accomplish no application downtime if for 45 seconds you can't connect to the database?
In background processes you might get away with retrying connections for a minute but most users will probably consider your site broken if page load time is 45 seconds.
when ha would cost the same i.e. ~20€ than that would be amazingly cheap.
i mean on aws you would pay the same (20 €), but you need to pay 1 year upfront.. and if ha would be like 16 € you would only be a little bit more expensive than a 3 year aws rds offering (1€ per month), which is less a problem since the storage is cheaper and you are way more flexible (canceling and recreating to a bigger instance)
What's up with cloud instance naming schemes? I get this is kind of similar to Amazon, but man, I bet these are really unwieldy in conversations esp. if someone is new to a platform.
We know. That's why PostgreSQL pilots hopefully clearer pricing structure where you choose how much CPU and RAM is needed and pay per CPU and GiB of ram. No more `db-nX-<something>-X`.
You'll still see instance size names for a while though. I think D0-D32 are for first generation of CloudSQL (which is MySQL only). db-* are for second generation and match GCE instance names.
There's at least 2 performance dimensions for provisioning an instance: vCPUs and memory. Often also GPUs, local SSDs, local HDDs. And then you have multiple generations of hardware, which aren't 100% comparable to each other.
So coming up with a "fully systematic" naming scheme is not really possible without listing all the parameters, and then you lose the benefit of having a name.
I am not a vim user and I've been using IntelliJ IDEA to code in GoLang for about an year now and I find it extremely powerful. It is powered using the GoLang IntelliJ plugin : https://github.com/go-lang-plugin-org/go-lang-idea-plugin
It provides :
1) Error Highlighting,
2) Auto Completion,
3) Click-to-Navigate,
4) Auto Formatting,
5) Auto Importing, among other features.
